WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes, regulations,
and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property damage. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located
electrical receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment. To reduce the risk of
electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and
other equipment. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal electrical shock
hazard. Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to electrical power supply.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for
electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a
professional electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local
electrical codes for bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to
reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm
2
) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the
pressure wire connector provided on the electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal
piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general
wiring procedures.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock . The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by
a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis.
To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI
fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the electrical equipment without the test
button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this electrical
equipment. Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before
using.
CAUTION – HAYWARD
®
pumps are intended for use with permanently-installed pools and may be used with hot tubs and
spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a
building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being
readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
WARNING – Risk of Hyperthermia. To avoid hyperthermia the following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs” are recommended by the
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F [40°C]. A temperature of 100°F [38°C] is
considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children. Prolonged immersion in
hot water can induce hyperthermia.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness, which
could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above 100°F [38°C] can cause fetal damage during the
first three months of pregnancy (resulting in the birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child). Pregnant women
should adhere to the 100°F [38°C] maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check the water temperature with an accurate ther-
mometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F (2.2°C).
5. Persons taking medications, which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anti-
coagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
6. If the pool/spa is used for therapy, it should be done with the advice of a physician. Always stir pool/ spa
water before entering the pool/spa to mix in any hot surface layer of water that might exceed healthful
temperature limits and cause injury. Do not tamper with controls, because scalding can result if safety controls
are not in proper working order.
7. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physicians’ advice before using spas or hot tubs.
8. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above
normal body temperature of 98.6°F [37°C]. The symptoms of Hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy,
dizziness, fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of Hyperthermia include:
1. Unawareness of impending danger.
2. Failure to perceive heat.
3. Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa.
4. Physical inability to exit the spa.
5. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
6. Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.

Installation Instructions
Pump Location
Locate the system below the pool water line, for best pump
performance.
Install pump on a firm, level base or pad to meet all local and
national codes. The field supplied base or pad must be level.
Though the pump is designed for outdoor use, it is strongly
advised to protect the electrical components from the
weather. Select a well-drained area, one that will not flood
when it rains. Pump motors require free circulation of air for
cooling. Do not install pump in a damp or non-ventilated
location.
USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS 5
Pump Mounting
Fasten pump to base or pad with screws or bolts to reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose joints.
Hayward recommends a minimum clearance around the pad of 18” to allow adequate access for servicing pump and
piping.
Plumbing
Installing union connections at the suction and outlet ports is recommended, to facilitate servicing of pump and to
allow for indoor storage during the winter months,.
Use Teflon tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components. All plastic fittings must be new or
thoroughly cleaned before use. NOTE: Do NOT use Plumber’s Pipe Dope as it may cause cracking of the plastic
components.
When applying Teflon tape to plastic threads, wrap the entire threaded portion of the male fitting with one to two
layers of tape. Wind the tape clockwise as you face the open end of the fitting, beginning at the end of the fitting.
The pump suction and outlet ports have molded-in thread stops. Do NOT attempt to force hose connector fitting
past this stop. It is only necessary to tighten fittings enough to prevent leakage. Tighten fitting by hand and then
use a tool to engage fitting an additional 1 ½ turns. Use care when using Teflon tape as friction is reduced
considerably; do NOT over-tighten fitting or you may cause damage. If leaks occur, remove connector, clean off old
Teflon tape, re-wrap with one to two additional layers of Teflon tape, and re-install connector.
Electrical
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local
codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC).
All electrical wiring should be performed by a qualified
professional. Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located electrical
receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment. To reduce the risk of
electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers
and other equipment. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock hazard. Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to electrical power supply.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock . The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that
is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be
tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button.
Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power
to the electrical equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility
of an electrical shock. Do not use this electrical equipment. Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem
corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
Insure that the electrical supply available agrees with the motor’s voltage, phase, and cycle, and that the wire size is
adequate for the H.P. (KW) rating and distance from the power source.
Voltage
Voltage at motor MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below motor name plate rated voltage, or motor
may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more
than 110% of rated voltage when motor is running at full load, consult power company.
Grounding/Bonding
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for electrocution
and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a professional
electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes
for bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to
reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm
2
) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the
pressure wire connector provided on the electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal
piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general
wiring procedures.
Permanently ground motor. Use green ground terminal provided under motor canopy or access place; use size and
type wire required by code. Connect motor ground terminal to electrical service ground.
USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS 6
Wiring
If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads before figuring wire
and circuit breaker sizes. (NOTE: If unsure how to do this or if this is confusing, consult a licensed
electrician). Use the load circuit breaker as the Master On-Off switch.
NOTE: If you do not use conduit when wiring motor, be sure to seal wire opening on end of motor to prevent
dirt, bugs, etc., from entering.
New Installation – Start-Up & Operation
Selecting Pump’s Discharge Position (4 Steps)
Your Hayward Power-Flo Matrix™ pump can be easily positioned for horizontal or vertical water discharge.
Step 1: Remove ALL plumbing attached to pump. Remove pump
from base (if applicable).
Step 2: Remove strainer housing.
Disengage and lift off strainer cover.
Remove strainer basket.
Lift up on strainer ‘C’ clip and remove. (See Fig. 1)
Slide strainer housing forward and remove.
Step 3: Press positioning button located on pump housing and
rotate discharge port to desired position.
(NOTE: Discharge port will only rotate ¼ turn.)
Step 4: Assemble the pump by following the above directions in the reverse manner.
Prior to Start-Up
Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. NEVER operate the pump without water. Water acts as a
coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal.
WARNING – NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage and
flooding. Fill strainer housing with water before starting motor.
CAUTION – Do NOT add chemicals to pool/spa system directly in front of pump suction. Adding
undiluted chemicals may damage pump and voids warranty.
CAUTION – Before removing strainer cover:
1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.
2. CLOSE VALVES in suction and outlet pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
WARNING – If pump is being pressure tested, be sure pressure has been released before removing
strainer cover.
Priming Pump
Clean and lubricate strainer cover O-ring with "Jack's 327" each time it is removed.
Clean and inspect O-ring; re-install on strainer cover.
Replace strainer cover on strainer housing; turn clockwise to tighten cover.
NOTE: Tighten strainer cover by hand only (no wrenches) ¼ turn.
Open all valves before starting system.
Release all air from filter and piping system. See filter owner’s manual.
With suction and outlet valves open and water source higher than the pump and flowing, pump will prime
itself.
If pump does NOT prime within ten minutes, stop motor and determine cause. Be sure all suction and discharge
valves are open when pump is running. See Troubleshooting Guide.

Storage/Winterization
WARNING – Explosion Hazard. Purging the system with compressed air can cause components to
explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI),
high volume blower when air purging the pump, filter, or piping.
CAUTION – Allowing the pump to freeze will void the warranty.
CAUTION – Do NOT use anti-freeze solutions (except propylene glycol) in your pool/spa system.
Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not damage plastic system components; other anti-freezes are
highly toxic and may damage plastic components in the system.
Gravity drain system as far as possible.
Storing Pump for Winterization
WARNING – ELECTRICAL HAZARD, To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to
motor before draining pump.
Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temperatures or when storing pump.
1. Drain water level below all inlets to the pool.
2. Remove drain plug from bottom of strainer body.
3. Disconnect pump from base.
4. Once the pump is drained of water, re-install the strainer lid and strainer plug.
5. Store pump in a dry enclosure. Keep motor dry and covered during storage. To avoid
condensation/corrosion problems, do NOT cover or wrap pump with plastic film or bags.
Start-Up for Winterized Equipment
1. Securely mount pump to base.
2. Install all intake and output fittings and piping.
3. Refill pool to proper water level.
4. Prime pump according to instructions.

Shaft Seal Change Instructions
CAUTION -Only qualified personnel should attempt rotary seal replacement. Contact your local authorized
Hayward Dealer or service center if you have any questions.
WARNING - Read and follow all instructions . Failure to follow instructions can cause severe injury
and/or death.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to turn off power can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard.
Disconnect all electrical power service to pump before beginning shaft seal replacement.
Exercise extreme care in handling both the rotating and the stationary sections of the two-part replacement seal. Foreign
matter or improper handling will easily scratch the graphite and ceramic sealing surfaces.
1. Shut off water flow to pump by closing appropriate valves or by plugging both the skimmer outlet port and return
port to pool. Disconnect piping or hoses from the motor/pump assembly.
2. Remove the strainer by disengaging and removing the strainer cover. Remove the basket. Lift up on strainer ‘C’ clip
and remove. Finally, slide strainer housing forward and remove.
3. Unscrew eight (8) screws and remove pump cover, exposing the impeller.
4. Remove the canopy or the shaft cover plate from the end of motor opposite the impeller.
5. Hold the motor shaft securely by either inserting a screwdriver in slot at end of shaft or by using an open-end wrench
to engage the flat surfaces provided near end of motor shaft. Rotate the impeller in a counterclockwise direction and
remove it from the motor shaft.
6. Note how the steel spring section of the old seal is positioned on impeller hub and remove it by pulling from the
impeller.
7. Loosen four (4) motor through bolts from the back of motor and remove pump housing/shroud from the front of the
motor.
8. Remove the ceramic stationary portion of the old seal by pressing the white ceramic seat out of the pump housing
recess. If assembly is tight, tap lightly from the “motor” side.
9. Clean and lubricate the impeller stem and the pump housing recess with a dilute solution of non-granulated liquid-
type soap. Do not use petroleum or silicone lubricants as these can contribute to seal leakage.
10. Press the new rotating portion of the seal assembly onto the impeller stem with the polished black graphite surface
facing away from the impeller.
11. Carefully press the stationary ceramic portion of the seal into the recess of the pump housing/shroud, with the
polished flat surface facing out.
12. Carefully insert the motor shaft through the pump housing/shroud and align with white ceramic stationary seal
assembly in place and secure the motor to pump housing/shroud with four (4) motor through bolts removed in step
#7. Be sure motor base and pump discharge port are positioned properly. Alternately tighten the motor through
bolts until the pump housing is secure. Make certain motor shaft turns freely before proceeding.
13. Screw the impeller (clockwise) with the rotating portion of seal in place onto the motor shaft. Hand-tighten the
impeller in place.
14. Clean (replace if necessary) the O-ring and replace on pump cover. Assemble the pump cover to the pump housing/
shroud with the eight (8) screws removed in step #3. Tighten screws alternately and evenly.
15. Re-assemble strainer by sliding strainer housing onto pump cover. Install strainer ‘C’ clip by pushing clip down onto
grooved pump cover coupling. Insert basket and fasten strainer cover.
16. Reconnect pump to the piping or hoses provided. Open all valves and make sure that the pump strainer housing is
full of water before restarting the pump.

Troubleshooting
Motor Will NOT Start – Check For:
1. Improper or loose wiring connections; open switches or relays; tripped circuit breakers, GFCI’s, or blown fuses.
2. Manually check rotation of motor shaft for free movement and lack of obstruction. (See steps 4 & 5 of “Shaft
Seal Change Instructions” in this manual.)
3. If you have a timer, be certain it is working properly. Bypass it if necessary.
Motor Shuts OFF – Check For:
1. Undersized wiring; loose connections; etc.
2. Low voltage at motor or power drop (frequently caused by undersized wiring or extension cord use).
3. Mechanical binding and electrical overload.
NOTE: Your Hayward pump motor is equipped with an “automatic thermal overload protector.” The motor will
automatically shut off if power supply drops before heat damage can build up causing windings to burn out. The
“thermal overload protector” will allow the motor to automatically restart once the motor has cooled, provided the
power source is again up to proper levels. It will continue to cut On/Off until the problem is corrected. Be sure to
correct cause of overheating.
Motor Hums, But Does NOT Start – Check For:
1. Centrifugal switch stuck in OPEN position.
2. Binding of motor shaft.
Pump Won’t Prime
1. Make sure pump/strainer housing is filled with water and the cover O-ring is clean, also be sure it is properly
seated in the cover O-ring groove. Make sure strainer cover is locked firmly in position and lubricated with
“Jack’s 327.”
2. Make sure all suction and discharge valves are fully open and not blocked, that pool water level is at proper
level, and that skimmer weir is not hung up or stuck on skimmer wall.
3. Block off to determine if pump will develop a vacuum. You should have 5”-6” of vacuum at the strainer cover
(Only your pool dealer can confirm this with a vacuum gauge). You may be able to check by removing the
skimmer basket and holding your hand over the bottom port with skimmer full and pump running. If no suction
is felt, check for line blockage.
a. If pump develops a vacuum, check for blocked suction line or dirty strainer basket, an air leak in the
suction piping may be the cause.
b. If pump does not develop a vacuum and pump has sufficient “priming water”:
i. Re-check strainer housing cover and all threaded connections for suction leaks. Check if all
hose clamps are tight.
ii. Check voltage to ensure that the motor is rotating at full RPM’s.
iii. Open housing cover and check for clogging or obstruction in suction. Check impeller for debris.
iv. Remove and replace shaft seal only if it is leaking.
Low Flow – Generally, Check For:
1. Clogged or restricted strainer or suction line; undersized pool piping.
2. Plugged or restricted discharge line of filter, valve partially closed (high gauge reading).
How to correct: Sand filters – backwash as per manufacturer’s instructions; D.E. filters – backwash as per
manufacturer’s instructions; Cartridge filters – clean or replace cartridge.
3. Air leak in suction (bubbles issuing from return fittings). Re-tighten using Teflon tape.
4. Plugged or restricted impeller or impeller sheared off. Replace including new seal assembly.
USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS 10
Troubleshooting Continued:
Noisy Pump – Check For:
1. Air leak in suction piping causing rumbling in pump.
2. Cavitation due to restricted or undersized suction line or leak at any joint, low water level in pool, and
unrestricted discharge return lines. Correct suction condition or throttle return lines, if practical. Holding hand
over return fitting will sometimes prove this point or putting in a smaller eyeball fitting.
3. Vibration due to improper mounting, etc. Put a rubber pad under metal mounting feet.
4. Foreign matter in pump housing. Loose stones/debris hitting impeller could be cause, remove any of the above.
5. Motor bearings noisy from normal wear, rust, overheating, or concentration of chemicals causing seal damage
which will allow chlorinated water to seep into bearings wiping out the grease causing bearing to whine. All seal
leaks should be replaced at once.
6. Equipment base vibrating.
Maintenance
Clean strainer basket regularly. Do NOT strike basket to clean. Inspect strainer cover gasket regularly and
replace as necessary.
Hayward pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.
Keep motor clean. Insure air vents are free from obstruction.
Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to wear or damage. See “Shaft Seal Change Instructions” in
this manual on Page 8.
